Olawole-Anjorin, who is from Nigeria, said that she has been shocked by some of the things people assume about her home. Most recently, she saw a Facebook group that a girl had started to get a friend to stay in the U.S. instead of trying a study abroad in Africa.

“(The group) said 'She'll get AIDS, get raped or get malaria' and I was like 'are you serious?'” Olawole-Anjorin said.

Hey Dusty elbow, thanks for the feedback. There's definitely a bias against Black males in Western media, I don't deny that. But this story was done by Jennifer Brea, a black female journalist from the US, now living in Kenya (or Beijing I think). She has a lot of good news and insight on Africa. You can check out her blogs here (AfricaBeat, Global Voices).

If this really is happening, then we need to address it and not blame Western media bias. That university girl's illusions about Africa are common. I've had people and "friends" walk away from a conversation when I start talking about Black issues or just Jamaica in general. But I still have to recognise that women are indeed oppressed within our community.
